Chapter 2. Sky Full of Stars
Benison University is one of the top universities here in the country. Kilala ang university na 'to hindi lamang dahil sa magandang quality of education, kundi pati na rin sa magandang facilities na ino-offer ng campus to its students.
Dorms are located inside the university's premises. It's a five-storey building with every dorm having its own balcony. You could practically say that it's similar to a mini condominium. Of course, considering the amount of tuition fee per semester, it's worth the price.
As I enter the lobby, I tapped my ID on the scanner and went to the west wing of the building. Opposite wing ang dorms ng boys sa girls. There's no need to further explain the details, matik na naman na ang reason nyan.
I went inside the elevator and pressed the floor where my room is located. When I heard the chime sound, bumukas ang pinto ng elevator and I walked myself out. After a few walks ay nakarating na rin ako harap ng dorm ko.
I typed the passcode and the door then opens. Nang makapasok ako sa loob ay agad kong inilagay sa may shoe rack ang sapatos ko saka ko isinuot ang indoor slippers ko.
Diretso akong pumasok sa loob at naabutan si Belle sa common room, staring at her laptop as if her whole life depends on what she's typing.
"Still doing your thesis paper?" tanong ko which eventually caught her attention.
She turned around and our eyes met. With her messy hair that seems to be close to having white colored strands on it, the dark circles in her eyes, she's the full definition of a haggard girl. Mas malalim na yung eyebags nya compared sa huling kita ko noon kahapon!
"Ari, I think I'm gonna die earlier than I expected. Please, do carry out my will. Pakisabi na lang rin sa magulang at kapatid ko na mahal na mahal ko silang lahat." Maluha-luha at ma-drama pa nitong sabi.
Natawa naman ako sa kaniyang iniasal. Naglakad ako palapit sa kaniyang direksyon saka umupo sa tabi nya. Nakatungo ito at magkasakop na yakap ang kaniyang hita.
"Belle, tumingin ka sa'kin," pagtawag ko sa kaniya. Hindi naman agad ito kumibo. Napabuga naman ako ng hangin. "Tingin ka sa akin o ano." Sa pagkakataong iyon ay nag-angat na siya ng tingin sakin.
Ngumiti naman ako na siyang ikinataka niya. Halata sa mukha niya ang pagtataka sa aking ginawa. Iginalaw ko ang aking kamay at nai-motion na lumapit siya sa'kin.
Bagamat naguguluhan ay inilapit naman nya ang kaniyang mukha. Hindi ko na pinalampas ang pagkakataon at agad kong itinaas ang aking kamay saka ko pinitik ng daliri ang kaniyang noo.
Gotcha!
"Aray! Hala, Ari! Ansakit naman no'n! Napakabully mo talaga."
Hindi ko alam kung matatawa ba ako o ano. Paano kasi ay nakanguso ang labi ni Belle habang sinasabi iyon.
